The Tear Handkerchief OF the TyroI.

Ia some portions ofthe Tyrol a peculiar
and beautiful custom still prevails.
when a girl Is about to be married.
before she leaves her home 10 60 TO the
church, h T mother hands her a hand
kerchief. which is called a tear kerchief.
1t Is made OF newly-spun linen and has
never been used.
IL is with this kerchief that she dries
her tears when she leaves her fathers
house and while she stands at the altar.
After the marriage is over and the
bride has gone with her husband TO their
new home, she folds up the kerchief and
places II unwashed In their linen closet,
where II remains untouched.
The tear kerchief has only performed
half Of Its mission. Children are torn,
grow up. marry and move away from
the old home. Each daughter receives
from the mother q new car kerchlef.
Her own remains where IL was placed
IN the linen closet on the day Of the mar
riage, and there 1t remains until her
death, when 10 is taken from Its place
and spread over The placi1 features OF
the dead, never TO be removed until We
are summoned TO come forth on the res
direction morn.

THE STORM.
The FIercest Wind lin Portland for
Over a Year,

The observer at the signal station at Port
land records the heaviest wind Yesterday
known to the city for more than year. The
wind blew at the rate of As miles per hour at
one o'clock. When blowing at the rate of ~
miles per hour it is called gale, and the
average velocity from II a. M to d. m. was
80 miles per hour.
AT Portland, which was at the centre of
the storm. POI inches of rain fell. A SOUTH
east wind prevailed and reached a velocity
OF AZ miles at Boston. The Geographic con-
nectlons with PASSPORT were destroyed by
the storm, and the signal observer thinks
that heavy gale will be reported from that
place.
Yesterday was bad day for awnings. The
awning over the sidewalk at Rnby's dining
hall was badly torn, as well as those at Ken
dali d Whitney's, C. H. Guppy's, Heseltine
q Co.'s and Bearings bakery. The Forest
City Steamboat Company's canvas sign,
which was stretched across the head of Gus
tom House Wharf, was completely destroyed.
Two large elms were blown over; one of
them was situated on Spring street in front
